Guild Wars 2

With Legendary Weapons beign already in the Game and Heart of Thorns bringing Legendary Armors into the Game as Raid Rewards, and the first Legendary Back Item being a Reward from Fractals of the Mists, there is not missing much anymore to make Legendary Equipment complete aside from

Legendary Accessoires (Rings, Earrings, Amulets) and Legendary Aquabreathers… but I think Aqua Breathers are a topic, that should get solved by simply finally merging Aqua Breathers with the Head Slot… I see no reason why the underwater Heaslot should count any further as a unique equipment slot, when its just the same stuff, like Helm…

Turn just finally Aqua Breathers into just Helm Skins and remove Aqua Breathers from the game as unique Equipment Slot – Problem Solve, no need to make Legendary Aqua Breathers, just having Aqua Breathers as skins to which we should be able to decide, if we want to see them automatically switch hot the land helm skin with them when we enter water, or not.

But Legendary Amulets and Rings/Earrings are an other Topic..
I think Heart of Thorns should make the legendary Equipment Topic directly complete.

So please Anet, also directly please intrduce Legendary Accessoires for Rings, Earrigns and Amulets to the game, brign Jeweler 500 finally to the Game with HoT, so that it is kind of a preparation to get it to 500 to become able to craft legendary Accessoires of Rings, Earrings and Amulets (and while you are at it, add also chef 500 finally please puppy eyes) )

I want to work on finally on universally useable accessoires, with that I am able to switch out Stats as I like7need it for my builds …
Now with in the future more and more build diversity asiring from the introduced waves of new Elite Specializes, I feel it will become drastically more and more important for the future to have equipment, with that I can be more flexible while exchanging out elite specializations outside of combat.

Ascended Items are still way too grindy to consider them at all any alt character friendly. ( I got from a few months of pvping more lucky ascended chest drops from rank up chests, than from 2+ years of playing PvE/WvW!!! together!!!)

I hope, that Raids and the future content of HoT will make Ascended equipment more accessible, also by making finally WvW more rewarding.

I see grinding for more and more different pieces of ascended gear as a waste of time, when I could make better usage of all that time to work actually on making legendary accessoires or earnign them somehow via HoT’s content, or in a game mode, that has since 3 years a total lackluster reward system that is the absolute worst of the whole game, speaking of WvW.

I wouldn#t like it to have to wait for another xx months or even x years, until you add finally legendary accessoires, where practicalyl legendary accessoires are the MOST EASIEST legendary items to implement into the game, because unlike weapons and armors, they are no equipment with big flashy animations on your character model.

So its for me really questionable, why these haven’t even been implemented first, instead of the weapons. Because Legendary Accessoires would need to have only something, that makes them effect wise different from weapons.

Theres alot of possible things left open for Legendary Accessoires to change visually.
While Weapons give you auras, footprints and weapon swing effects..

Legendary Accessoires could do easily something alogn the line of either:

• Enhanced Boon Effect Visuals (Got Protection, and receive a much flashier more epic loking Protection Animation Version to make you look more powerful/heroic)
• Skill Skins (Accessoires that change the Skins of how your Skills will get animated)
• Added Emotes Sets (Accessoires, that give you more access to unique Emotes Sets)
• Unique Dance Moves (Accessoires, that add new Dances to you)
• Legendary Mail Carrier Effects
• Legendary Finisher Effetcs
• Legendary Idle Poses

ect pp. the list surely goes on with potential good things ANet could use to give each kind of legendary items various different unique areas they would visually improve.

So I can repeat myself only again, please anet, don’t let us wait any much longer for also Legendary Accessoires, make the Legendary Equipment please with Heart of Thorns already complete.

What do you guys think?? Discuss

We can’t even see accessories so they’d have the same functionality as ascended.

The convenience of selectable stats is the functionality of legendary over ascended. I would love to change accessory stats. Many of my characters have ascended accessories of various types and it would be a convenience to not have to swap between characters when changing someone’s build.

Not crazy about any added visual effects on them, though.

Obviously everyone would love legendary accessories for stat changes. However, the only thing I am concerned about with all these legendary rune and accessory posts is that of what will be left for future expansions. Also, I don’t necessarily think there needs to be any visual effects to go with them. Just the stat changes would be enough.

Additionally, I wouldn’t get too involved with talking about other legendaries yet. If legendary armor takes about the same time per piece to make compared to legendary weapons than it will take a long kitten time, as it should be. We don’t want everyone running around with legendary armor. I expect, or at least hope, full legendary armor to take at least the same amount of time as two legendaries today, or perhaps the same time as three legendaries (could range up to six). If this is the case, by the time you finally get legendary amor, the next expansion may be announced that has the ability to make legendary accessories.
